Normal contact problem between a cylindrical indenter and a half-space with long-range adhesion: Study with the method of dimensionality reduction

Resumo

Adhesive contact with exponential adhesive interaction is simulated with the use of the method of dimensionality reduction. The developed procedure is illustrated with an example of adhesion of a cylindrical punch and an elastic half space. However, it is general and can be used for any form of interaction potential and any form of indenter.
